Regular cardinal
In set theory, a regular cardinal is an infinite well-orderable cardinal whose initial ordinal is regular, where a regular ordinal is an ordinal which is equal to its own cofinality. So, crudely speaking, a regular cardinal is one which cannot be broken into a smaller collection of smaller parts.
